Crook County States Attorney Race

Can Kim Foxx bring down the whole ticket? Looks like state-wide Dems might not get a boost from straight ticket voters in Crook County due to Kim Foxx:

47.1% — Kim Foxx
40.6% — Pat O’Brien
9.8% — Undecided

 

Odds are, she's still going to win re-election, but the fact that people will be ballot splitting may mean the blue tidal wave of Chicago-area votes isn't going to bouyee the rest of the ticket as much. May make some other races tighter than they would have been. National party affiliation poll recently showed R+1. Usually, Dems count on at least D+4 to win nationally, and more like D+15 in Illinois. If Crook County is this close, what does that say for the prospects for Durbin & Biden?

As I post this, O'Brien is 8% ahead of Foxx, 50.9% to 42.7%.

 

Meanwhile, in US rep districts 3, 6, and 11, State senate district 10, and State rep districts 19, 20, 35, 37, 47, 49, 52, 54, and 82 (all Cook County), Rs lead Ds. I haven't checked what the incumbents are, but some of those could easily be flips.

 

There are still plenty of votes to be counted yet, too. If there are flips, I'd go with the riots as the explanation. Riots and Smollett explain O'Brien over Foxx.

The Cook County Clerk results only show suburban totals dont include the results for Chicago. You have to combine both of those. Once you do, you will see that somehow, the stupid walk amongst us and Foxx retains her position.

Well if she keeps you, not you you, out of jail why not get the vote out for her. But I agree the stupid are in the majority.

Fortunately they are not stupid enough to fall for a tax hike, which says a lot as well.
